when running apt-get update, I get the following errors:

...
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary-updates/main Packages
404 Not Found
Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary-updates/restricted Packages
404 Not Found
...
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary-updates/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/hoary-updates/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found
...


My sources.list is from the posting at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/GuideToHoary
I copy/pasted the lines from this wiki posting exactly...I'm guessing the error has to do with the following piece of my sources.list:

## Uncomment after release to continue getting updates:
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary-updates main restricted


However, this is just as shown in the wiki page, so I'm at a loss...
any advice on the latest and greatest sources.list???

thanks, ke han

Hoary isn't in release as far as I know. Try commenting the line again and uncommenting when Hoary is officially released.
I'm not at home, so I can't tell you what my apt.sources list looks like.

You need to comment that line until hoary is relased, then uncomment to get the updates!!
